North Pacific Yearly Meeting Annual Session – July 9 to 13, 2025

The 2025 Annual Session will be held in Missoula, Montana, from July 9 to 13, with an online business-only plenary held beforehand. Our Friends in Residence, Keith Runyan and Nora Lissette and their one-year-old child Juniper, along with your NPYM clerks, invite you to explore what it means to live the theme of this Annual Session: Lift Your Voice and Sing Loud!

In these days when all the world seems to tremble, we gather as Friends, and we tremble too. But we do not tremble in fear or despair. Our trembling is the quaking that comes the moment before we break the silence of worship and speak. Our trembling is the Spirit stirring us to speak and act. 

For more information and to register visit NPYM Annual Session. Registration closes June 22nd.
